Source: DairyNews.today
Nearly 80,000 pounds of butter have been recalled by Continental Dairy Facilities Southwest LLC over concerns of missing allergen warnings on packaging, a recall classified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a Class II risk.
The recall, announced on October 11, affects two Kirkland Signature products: Unsalted Sweet Cream Butter and Salted Sweet Cream Butter, each in 16-ounce packets with four sticks of butter. The FDA’s recent Class II categorization indicates that use of or exposure to the product “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,” with a low likelihood of serious health impacts.
Both products, distributed within Texas where Continental Dairy is headquartered, list cream as an ingredient but may lack the essential allergen declaration “Contains Milk.” The recall encompasses approximately 46,800 pounds of unsalted and 32,400 pounds of salted butter, each with best-by dates ranging from February 22 to March 23, 2025.
Continental Dairy has urged customers to check packaging and return affected items to retailers if the allergen warning is absent.
